reference. This manual contains information on the operation of the

WARNING

• Do not disassemble or modify the case. This can result in flooding or mal-

function.

• Store the case out of reach of children or infants. Be careful when around

them not to harm them with the case or parts.

• Keep small parts that could be swallowed, such as the O ring, O-ring grease,

and desiccant, away from infants. Contact a doctor immediately if an object is
swallowed.

• Pay attention when recording underwater to avoid accidents.
• Do not wear the strap around the neck underwater. The strap may become

entangled and cause injury.

• If the case leaks, discontinue use. Remove the camera from the case and

the battery from the camera as soon as possible. If diving at a great depth,
take the necessary precautions to avoid decompression sickness. Do not
handle the camera and battery with wet hands. The continued use of a dam-
aged product or part may cause injuries or fire.

• If the case leaked, open with care. The increased pressure inside the case

will cause it to open with extreme force.

• If smoke is seen in the case, or the case becomes hot, discontinue use.

Immediately remove the camera from the case and the battery from the cam-
era taking care not to burn yourself as the camera and battery become hot
with use. Do not handle the camera or battery with wet hands. The continued
use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries or fire.

• Take the product to a Minolta Service Facility when repairs are required.
